Onda Works
Onda Works (온다웍스) is a South Korean film production company founded in April 2023 by representative Im Eun-jung. Based in Seoul, the company focuses on theatrical feature film production.
The company name combines the Korean word “온다” (“coming”) with “Works,” reflecting their forward-looking approach to Korean cinema. Though relatively young, Onda Works quickly established itself through strategic partnerships with established production houses.
In February 2026, Onda Works achieved its breakthrough with “The King’s Warden,” a historical drama directed by Jang Hang-jun and starring Yoo Hae-jin and Park Ji-hoon. The film centers on the exile of King Danjong, the sixth King of Joseon, to Yeongwol in Gangwon Province. Produced in collaboration with BA Entertainment, the film surpassed 15 million admissions at the South Korean box office by late March 2026, making it South Korea’s highest-grossing film of all time. The opening weekend generated $4.9 million from 761,832 admissions. CEO Im Eun-jung described the scale of the success as “beyond our wildest dreams.”
Other releases include “Love in the Big City” (2024), co-produced with Cape E&A and CRP Group. The company continues to develop theatrical projects that bridge prestige filmmaking with commercial appeal.
